The first gun is a 10.5 cm leFH 18, i'm pretty sure the second gun seen from the breech end is an 8.8 cm Pak 43/41 and then the third gun in the field is a 7.5 cm Pak 40
@the82spartans The paratroopers and mountain troops had a light recoilless 7.5cm canon or a short barrel 7.5cm gun. As for transporting the PaK 40, anything they could find. Horses, trucks, half-tracks etc.

The first shown Weapon is a 10,5cm leFH 18. leFH means "leichte Feldhaubitze" i.e. "light field howitzer".
The second shown Weapon seem really to be a 7,5cm Pak 40.

I'm late to this discussion... but thank you for the points of interest for this video.
Curious to see what vehicle could have towed the paK 40.
I would guess light vehicle could move into position on flat land. What would Germans do in Mountain areas?
Would German Paratroopers use this weapon while on the offensive?
Thanks.
